Sunday, October 15th rides

[cosc]

My dh and I had good weather, 60's for our 18 mile ride. The descent coming back was frightful though. The shimmy seemed to get worse as I got close to the bottom of the hill. There was a 20mph crosswind that might have contributed. I really felt like my headset was loose, but seemed fine when we tested it. Yesterday when I came down that hill my bike was as smooth as glass compared to today. I'm so glad you girls are here for the good and the whiny times.

Today's ride was so short I ought to be embarrassed to mention it, but we road 2 miles in the rain and it was wonderful! I loved riding in the warm rain. Wish we could have gone farther but we were pushing it to take time to ride at all.

Yeah well I got you beat Pookster- I rode ONE mile today! Into town for Sunday breakfast and back. I REALLY wanted to go for a 12 mile ride I love, but I had some job deadlines that I simply could no longer put off, so right after breakfast I had to peddle home and WORK all day.

Denise G. and I rode today; 20.1 miles on some country roads and a few suburban traffic type roads. It's getting cooler here and it's hard to know how to dress. It's not cold enough for super winter gear, but I find it very hard to gauge it correctly. I think I'm getting used to riding in cool weather, because I was able to wear regular gloves and no head covering at 53 degrees.
So, a nice, social ride from Concord to West Acton and back. The foliage sure is nice, but very soon all of those leaves will be on the ground, making it trecherous for cyclists.

Yes, this was listed under Oct. 14th. No, I did not ride twice.
